I just waited there, as the music soared into the air. As the lights went down, she said don't open your eyes

Silversun Pickups - Dream At Tempo 119

Here we go. Song #7 of my week-long album release countdown for SSPU. I really hope I keep up with this because I totally failed at maintaining the OTH 12-song tribute. Anyway, this one is off their first full-length album, Carnavas. Very cool sound. I like how it sways back and forth from a dream-like sound to a sudden startup of music as if to wake you up from the dream. Now, to be honest, I am not really sure what the lyrics mean, but it could very well be a description of a dream, and if you've ever tried to recall one of your dreams you know that very rarely do they make sense. One thing that I think I am interpreting correctly is that the person he meets in his dream is telling him to stay asleep so the dream can continue. I have definitely had dreams where I can feel myself waking up but I want to keep sleeping to end the dream. Interesting stuff, dreams are. Enjoy!
